I received an interesting email today...

Dear Employer!

Why thankyou. I mean, I don't actually have any 'employees' so I'm not sure you can call me an employer but I appreciate the fact you obviously consider me a high-powered business-type-person.

We are glad to inform you of beginning staff recruitment for the position of the Financial Agent in Australia. We are looking for the best candidates meeting the demands of our clients. The number of vacancies for this position is limited, that's why the recruitment takes place on a competition basis.

Yes, but perhaps I should repeat myself: I don't actually...

We select the best employees and, probably, you are the one whom we are looking for!

Dear Kate, I thought that maybe you would like to know that the same job offer as reached Portugal on the 8 of April, with one small particularly, which is the mention that the 2500 eurs are per month. I made a brief search through the “webland” and I saw your blog and comments! Very funny, thanks for that, it helped take the weight of the guilt (inherent of been raise in a catholic country, despite of not suffering from priest trauma) of stabbing my employer in the back.CheersLuís

Hi Rita, it seems to me that it's plain bullshit; pardon my French, or someone making some bizarre study. In my logic, it doesn’t make any sense, offering the same amount to such different realities as the Australian (even more in EUR) and the Portuguese. That's the best I can do :)Cheers

Hi Rita and Tema, and of course Kate :)allow me to make a "mea culpa"..my "nice Rib" made itself hear while I was having lunch and made think about the motivation (thanks Rita), and it can be a way (not the very smart one, in my opinion) to get the contact of people to talk to, a thing like a pen friend or something or…that’s all I got from my rib so far…if any of you girls have a nicer rib, opinion, idea or something else please share, I would appreciatePS: I don’t know about you, but I’ve never been a Blog kind of person , but it’s kind of nice, so worm came out of the apple, cheers

Hi...and sorry (don’t want to become to intense)...maybe it's some kind of narcissi person that puts out a mail with intended of putting people to talk about it, or, and here it comes my nice rib again, a ”Ghandi” who just wish people all over the world to star talking about "something", like a sergeant in the army who makes all the platoon to heat his guts just with the intention to make the bound (no, I’ve never been to the army, but I saw some films about it:)),cheers

I received a similar mail as well and after some web searching I discover this: http://www.fraudesonline.com/es/NL_030.php« (...)Most of our customers prefer to arrange for their payments in their own country, it's much faster and cheaper than international money transfer or bank transfer(...)Your future job is to receive and transfer payments from our clients»
